r265236 | ken | 2014-05-02 14:25:09 -0600 (Fri, 02 May 2014) | 51 lines

Bring in the mpr(4) driver for LSI's MPT3 12Gb SAS controllers.

This is derived from the mps(4) driver, but it supports only the 12Gb
IT and IR hardware including the SAS 3004, SAS 3008 and SAS 3108.

Some notes about this driver:
o The 12Gb hardware can do "FastPath" I/O, and that capability is included in
this driver.

o WarpDrive functionality has been removed, since it isn't supported in
the 12Gb driver interface.

o The Scatter/Gather list handling code is significantly different between
the 6Gb and 12Gb hardware. The 12Gb boards support IEEE Scatter/Gather
lists.

Thanks to LSI for developing and testing this driver for FreeBSD.

Decouple yarrow from random(4) device.

* Make Yarrow an optional kernel component -- enabled by "YARROW_RNG" option.
The files sha2.c, hash.c, randomdev_soft.c and yarrow.c comprise yarrow.

* random(4) device doesn't really depend on rijndael-*. Yarrow, however, does.

* Add random_adaptors.[ch] which is basically a store of random_adaptor's.
random_adaptor is basically an adapter that plugs in to random(4).
random_adaptor can only be plugged in to random(4) very early in bootup.
Unplugging random_adaptor from random(4) is not supported, and is probably a
bad idea anyway, due to potential loss of entropy pools.
We currently have 3 random_adaptors:
+ yarrow
+ rdrand (ivy.c)
+ nehemeiah

* Remove platform dependent logic from probe.c, and move it into
corresponding registration routines of each random_adaptor provider.
probe.c doesn't do anything other than picking a specific random_adaptor
from a list of registered ones.

* If the kernel doesn't have any random_adaptor adapters present then the
creation of /dev/random is postponed until next random_adaptor is kldload'ed.

* Fix randomdev_soft.c to refer to its own random_adaptor, instead of a
system wide one.

Add the CAM Target Layer (CTL).

CTL is a disk and processor device emulation subsystem originally written
for Copan Systems under Linux starting in 2003. It has been shipping in
Copan (now SGI) products since 2005.

It was ported to FreeBSD in 2008, and thanks to an agreement between SGI
(who acquired Copan's assets in 2010) and Spectra Logic in 2010, CTL is
available under a BSD-style license. The intent behind the agreement was
that Spectra would work to get CTL into the FreeBSD tree.

Some CTL features:

- Disk and processor device emulation.
- Tagged queueing
- SCSI task attribute support (ordered, head of queue, simple tags)
- SCSI implicit command ordering support. (e.g. if a read follows a mode
select, the read will be blocked until the mode select completes.)
- Full task management support (abort, LUN reset, target reset, etc.)
- Support for multiple ports
- Support for multiple simultaneous initiators
- Support for multiple simultaneous backing stores
- Persistent reservation support
- Mode sense/select support
- Error injection support
- High Availability support (1)
- All I/O handled in-kernel, no userland context switch overhead.

(1) HA Support is just an API stub, and needs much more to be fully
functional.

ctl.c: The core of CTL. Command handlers and processing,
character driver, and HA support are here.

ctl.h: Basic function declarations and data structures.

ctl_backend.c,
ctl_backend.h: The basic CTL backend API.

ctl_backend_block.c,
ctl_backend_block.h: The block and file backend. This allows for using
a disk or a file as the backing store for a LUN.
Multiple threads are started to do I/O to the
backing device, primarily because the VFS API
requires that to get any concurrency.

ctl_backend_ramdisk.c: A "fake" ramdisk backend. It only allocates a
small amount of memory to act as a source and sink
for reads and writes from an initiator. Therefore
it cannot be used for any real data, but it can be
used to test for throughput. It can also be used
to test initiators' support for extremely large LUNs.

ctl_cmd_table.c: This is a table with all 256 possible SCSI opcodes,
and command handler functions defined for supported
opcodes.

ctl_debug.h: Debugging support.

ctl_error.c,
ctl_error.h: CTL-specific wrappers around the CAM sense building
functions.

ctl_frontend.c,
ctl_frontend.h: These files define the basic CTL frontend port API.

ctl_frontend_cam_sim.c: This is a CTL frontend port that is also a CAM SIM.
This frontend allows for using CTL without any
target-capable hardware. So any LUNs you create in
CTL are visible in CAM via this port.

ctl_frontend_internal.c,
ctl_frontend_internal.h:
This is a frontend port written for Copan to do
some system-specific tasks that required sending
commands into CTL from inside the kernel. This
isn't entirely relevant to FreeBSD in general,
but can perhaps be repurposed.

ctl_ha.h: This is a stubbed-out High Availability API. Much
more is needed for full HA support. See the
comments in the header and the description of what
is needed in the README.ctl.txt file for more
details.

ctl_io.h: This defines most of the core CTL I/O structures.
union ctl_io is conceptually very similar to CAM's
union ccb.

ctl_ioctl.h: This defines all ioctls available through the CTL
character device, and the data structures needed
for those ioctls.

ctl_mem_pool.c,
ctl_mem_pool.h: Generic memory pool implementation used by the
internal frontend.

ctl_private.h: Private data structres (e.g. CTL softc) and
function prototypes. This also includes the SCSI
vendor and product names used by CTL.

ctl_scsi_all.c,
ctl_scsi_all.h: CTL wrappers around CAM sense printing functions.

ctl_ser_table.c: Command serialization table. This defines what
happens when one type of command is followed by
another type of command.

ctl_util.c,
ctl_util.h: CTL utility functions, primarily designed to be
used from userland. See ctladm for the primary
consumer of these functions. These include CDB
building functions.

scsi_ctl.c: CAM target peripheral driver and CTL frontend port.
This is the path into CTL for commands from
target-capable hardware/SIMs.

README.ctl.txt: CTL code features, roadmap, to-do list.

usr.sbin/Makefile: Add ctladm.

ctladm/Makefile,
ctladm/ctladm.8,
ctladm/ctladm.c,
ctladm/ctladm.h,
ctladm/util.c: ctladm(8) is the CTL management utility.
It fills a role similar to camcontrol(8).
It allow configuring LUNs, issuing commands,
injecting errors and various other control
functions.

usr.bin/Makefile: Add ctlstat.

ctlstat/Makefile
ctlstat/ctlstat.8,
ctlstat/ctlstat.c: ctlstat(8) fills a role similar to iostat(8).
It reports I/O statistics for CTL.

sys/conf/files: Add CTL files.

sys/conf/NOTES: Add device ctl.

sys/cam/scsi_all.h: To conform to more recent specs, the inquiry CDB
length field is now 2 bytes long.

Add several mode page definitions for CTL.

sys/cam/scsi_all.c: Handle the new 2 byte inquiry length.

sys/dev/ciss/ciss.c,
sys/dev/ata/atapi-cam.c,
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_targ_bh.c,
scsi_target/scsi_cmds.c,
mlxcontrol/interface.c: Update for 2 byte inquiry length field.

scsi_da.h: Add versions of the format and rigid disk pages
that are in a more reasonable format for CTL.

amd64/conf/GENERIC,
i386/conf/GENERIC,
ia64/conf/GENERIC,
sparc64/conf/GENERIC: Add device ctl.

i386/conf/PAE: The CTL frontend SIM at least does not compile
cleanly on PAE.

This patch changes head so that the default NFS client is now the new
NFS client (which I guess is no longer experimental). The fstype "newnfs"
is now "nfs" and the regular/old NFS client is now fstype "oldnfs".
Although mounts via fstype "nfs" will usually work without userland
changes, an updated mount_nfs(8) binary is needed for kernels built with
"options NFSCL" but not "options NFSCLIENT". Updated mount_nfs(8) and
mount(8) binaries are needed to do mounts for fstype "oldnfs".
The GENERIC kernel configs have been changed to use options
NFSCL and NFSD (the new client and server) instead of NFSCLIENT and NFSSERVER.
For kernels being used on diskless NFS root systems, "options NFSCL"
must be in the kernel config.

acdX -> cdY, afdX -> daY, astX -> saY, where 'Y's are the sequential
numbers for each type in order of detection, unless configured otherwise

Add MALLOC_DEBUG_MAXZONES debug malloc(9) option to use multiple uma
zones for each malloc bucket size. The purpose is to isolate
different malloc types into hash classes, so that any buffer overruns
or use-after-free will usually only affect memory from malloc types in
that hash class. This is purely a debugging tool; by varying the hash
function and tracking which hash class was corrupted, the intersection
of the hash classes from each instance will point to a single malloc
type that is being misused. At this point inspection or memguard(9)
can be used to catch the offending code.

Use io(4) for I/O port access on ia64, rather than through sysarch(2).
I/O port access is implemented on Itanium by reading and writing to a
special region in memory. To hide details and avoid misaligned memory
accesses, a process did I/O port reads and writes by making a MD system
call. There's one fatal problem with this approach: unprivileged access
was not being prevented. /dev/io serves that purpose on amd64/i386, so
employ it on ia64 as well. Use an ioctl for doing the actual I/O and
remove the sysarch(2) interface.

Backward compatibility is not being considered. The sysarch(2) approach
was added to support X11, but support for FreeBSD/ia64 was never fully
implemented in X11. Thus, nothing gets broken that didn't need more work
to begin with.

Remove MAC kernel config files and add "options MAC" to GENERIC, with the
goal of shipping 8.0 with MAC support in the default kernel. No policies
will be compiled in or enabled by default, but it will now be possible to
load them at boot or runtime without a kernel recompile.

While the framework is not believed to impose measurable overhead when no
policies are loaded (a result of optimization over the past few months in
HEAD), we'll continue to benchmark and optimize as the release approaches.
Please keep an eye out for performance or functionality regressions that
could be a result of this change.

Integrate the new MPSAFE TTY layer to the FreeBSD operating system.

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:

- Improved driver model:

The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.

If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.

- Improved hotplugging:

With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).

The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.

- Improved performance:

One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.

Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

Remove the KDTRACE option again because of the complaints about having
it as a default.

For the record, the KDTRACE option caused _no_ additional source files
to be compiled in; certainly no CDDL source files. All it did was to
allow existing BSD licensed kernel files to include one or more CDDL
header files.

By removing this from DEFAULTS, the onus is on a kernel builder to add
the option to the kernel config, possibly by including GENERIC and
customising from there. It means that DTrace won't be a feature
available in FreeBSD by default, which is the way I intended it to be.

Without this option, you can't load the dtrace module (which contains
the dtrace device and the DTrace framework). This is equivalent to
requiring an option in a kernel config before you can load the linux
emulation module, for example.

I think it is a mistake to have DTrace ported to FreeBSD, but not
to have it available to everyone, all the time. The only exception
to this is the companies which distribute systems with FreeBSD embedded.
Those companies will customise their systems anyway. The KDTRACE
option was intended for them, and only them.


163972 04-Nov-2006 jb

Build in kernel support for loading DTrace modules by default. This
adds the hooks that DTrace modules register with, and adds a few functions
which have the dtrace_ prefix to allow the DTrace FBT (function boundary
trace) provider to avoid tracing because they are called from the DTtrace
probe context.

Unlike other forms of tracing and debug, DTrace support in the kernel
incurs negligible run-time cost.

I think the only reason why anyone wouldn't want to have kernel support
enabled for DTrace would be due to the license (CDDL) under which DTrace
is released.

Remove COMPAT_43 from GENERIC (and other kernel configs). For amd64 there's
an explicit comment that it's needed for the linuxolator. This is not the
case anymore. For all other architectures there was only a "KEEP THIS".
I'm (and other people too) running a COMPAT_43-less kernel since it's not
necessary anymore for the linuxolator. Roman is running such a kernel for a
for longer time. No problems so far. And I doubt other (newer than ia32
or alpha) architectures really depend on it.

This may result in a small performance increase for some workloads.

If the removal of COMPAT_43 results in a not working program, please
recompile it and all dependencies and try again before reporting a
problem.

The only place where COMPAT_43 is needed (as in: does not compile without
it) is in the (outdated/not usable since too old) svr4 code.

Note: this does not remove the COMPAT_43TTY option.

o Compress the PCI device "database" by optimizing for the common

The procedural interface also generalizes the need to setup the
hardware (program chipsets, program clock frequencies).
o Eliminate the need for PUC_FASTINTR. Serdev devices are fast by
default and non-serdev devices are handled by the bus.
o Use the serdev I/F to collect interrupt status and to handle
interrupts across ports in priority order.

Take the support for the 8139C+/8169/8169S/8110S chips out of the
rl(4) driver and put it in a new re(4) driver. The re(4) driver shares
the if_rlreg.h file with rl(4) but is a separate module. (Ultimately
I may change this. For now, it's convenient.)

rl(4) has been modified so that it will never attach to an 8139C+
chip, leaving it to re(4) instead. Only re(4) has the PCI IDs to
match the 8169/8169S/8110S gigE chips. if_re.c contains the same
basic code that was originally bolted onto if_rl.c, with the
following updates:

- Added support for jumbo frames. Currently, there seems to be
a limit of approximately 6200 bytes for jumbo frames on transmit.
(This was determined via experimentation.) The 8169S/8110S chips
apparently are limited to 7.5K frames on transmit. This may require
some more work, though the framework to handle jumbo frames on RX
is in place: the re_rxeof() routine will gather up frames than span
multiple 2K clusters into a single mbuf list.

- Fixed bug in re_txeof(): if we reap some of the TX buffers,
but there are still some pending, re-arm the timer before exiting
re_txeof() so that another timeout interrupt will be generated, just
in case re_start() doesn't do it for us.

- Handle the 'link state changed' interrupt

- Fix a detach bug. If re(4) is loaded as a module, and you do
tcpdump -i re0, then you do 'kldunload if_re,' the system will
panic after a few seconds. This happens because ether_ifdetach()
ends up calling the BPF detach code, which notices the interface
is in promiscuous mode and tries to switch promisc mode off while
detaching the BPF listner. This ultimately results in a call
to re_ioctl() (due to SIOCSIFFLAGS), which in turn calls re_init()
to handle the IFF_PROMISC flag change. Unfortunately, calling re_init()
here turns the chip back on and restarts the 1-second timeout loop
that drives re_tick(). By the time the timeout fires, if_re.ko
has been unloaded, which results in a call to invalid code and
blows up the system.

To fix this, I cleared the IFF_UP flag before calling ether_ifdetach(),
which stops the ioctl routine from trying to reset the chip.

- Modified comments in re_rxeof() relating to the difference in
RX descriptor status bit layout between the 8139C+ and the gigE
chips. The layout is different because the frame length field
was expanded from 12 bits to 13, and they got rid of one of the
status bits to make room.

- Add diagnostic code (re_diag()) to test for the case where a user
has installed a broken 32-bit 8169 PCI NIC in a 64-bit slot. Some
NICs have the REQ64# and ACK64# lines connected even though the
board is 32-bit only (in this case, they should be pulled high).
This fools the chip into doing 64-bit DMA transfers even though
there is no 64-bit data path. To detect this, re_diag() puts the
chip into digital loopback mode and sets the receiver to promiscuous
mode, then initiates a single 64-byte packet transmission. The
frame is echoed back to the host, and if the frame contents are
intact, we know DMA is working correctly, otherwise we complain
loudly on the console and abort the device attach. (At the moment,
I don't know of any way to work around the problem other than
physically modifying the board, so until/unless I can think of a
software workaround, this will have do to.)

- Created re(4) man page

- Modified rlphy.c to allow re(4) to attach as well as rl(4).

Note that this code works for the sample 8169/Marvell 88E1000 NIC
that I have, but probably won't work for the 8169S/8110S chips.
RealTek has sent me some sample NICs, but they haven't arrived yet.
I will probably need to add an rlgphy driver to handle the on-board
PHY in the 8169S/8110S (it needs special DSP initialization).

Fix the style of the SCHED_4BSD commit.


110211 01-Feb-2003 marcel

Remove special casing for running in the simulator from the kernel
and instead add platform, firmware and EFI stubs to the loader.
The net effect of this change is that besides a special console and
disk driver, the kernel has no knowledge of the simulator. This has
the following advantages:
o Simulator support is much harder to break,
o It's easier to make use of more feature complete simulators.
This would only need a change in the simulator specific loader,
o Running SMP kernels within the simulator. Note that ski at this
time does not simulate IPIs, so there's no way to start APs.

The platform, firmware and EFI stubs describe the following hardware:
o 4 CPU Itanium,
o 128 MB RAM within the 4GB address space,
o 64 MB RAM above the 4GB address space.

NOTE: The stubs in the skiloader describe a machine that should in
parts be defined by the simulator. Things like processor interrupt
block and AP wakeup vector cannot be choosen at random because they
require interpretation by the simulator. Currently the simulator is
ignorant of this.

This change introduces an unofficial SSC call SSC_SAL_SET_VECTORS
which is ignored by the simulator.

Tested with: ski (version 0.943 for linux)

Permits UFS ACLs to be used with the GENERIC kernel. Due to recent
ACL configuration changes, this shouldn't result in different code paths
for file systems not explicitly configured for ACLs by the system
administrator. For UFS1, administrators must still recompile their
kernel to add support for extended attributes; for UFS2, it's sufficient
to enable ACLs using tunefs or at mount-time (tunefs preferred for
reliability reasons). UFS2, for a variety of reasons, including
performance and reliability, is the preferred file system for use with
ACLs.

NB: This commit does *NOT* make GEOM the default in FreeBSD
NB: But it will enable it in all kernels not having options "NO_GEOM"

Put the GEOM related options into the intended order.

Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.

In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.

There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:

boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.

SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media
is inserted. This is wrong, it should return ENXIO.

PC98:
It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)

These issues are all being worked.

This is the first snapshot of the FreeBSD/ia64 kernel. This kernel will
not work on any real hardware (or fully work on any simulator). Much more

the FreeBSD copyright message appear in the ia64 simulator.
